Secreted APP Modulates Synaptic Activity: A Novel Target for Therapeutic Intervention?
Abstract
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is not only processed to the neurotoxic amyloid-β peptide but also to various types of secreted APP variants. In a recent issue of Science, Rice et al. (2019) now demonstrate that secreted APP functions as a modulator of synaptic transmission by binding to GABABR1a.
